Songs & Fire [Brett and Casey]

Warrior

Song: Warrior by Demi Lovato

*Thank you, Celineherondale22 for suggesting this song! I know you suggested it forever ago and I am just now getting to it, but thanks so much for the suggestion! Also, I hope you like it, lol, I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind for this song; it just kinda popped in my head and I ran with it. Enjoy!

WARNING: There is mention of an alcohol addiction. If that is hard for anyone to read, please don't.

Thank you all!

This is a story that I have never told

I gotta get this off my chest to let it go

I need to take back the light inside you stole

You're a criminal

And you steal like you're a pro

All the pain and the truth

I wear like a battle wound

So ashamed, so confused

I was broken and bruised

Brett sat in the rehab center and visibly coiled up at watching everyone walk by her and give her their sympathetic smiles and tenderhearted looks. She would honestly say that this was one of the coldest, most uncomfortable places she had ever been. She didn't know what to do so she just sat there and kept twisting her watch on her wrist.

Now I'm a warrior

Now I've got thicker skin

I'm a warrior

I'm stronger than I've ever been

And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in

I'm a warrior

And you can never hurt me again

"Hey, Brett you okay? You just seem kinda off today." Whispered Casey as he came to sit by in the kitchen.

Brett continued to stare at her food in front of her until Casey gave her shoulder a light pat, "I'm sorry did you say something to me."

Casey immediately felt worried at seeing Brett act like this, "Umm...yeah, I asked if you were okay. You just seem to be acting off today."

Brett slightly smiled but continued to keep the sad look that she had been sporting since she walked in the firehouse on her face, "I'm okay, I've just...got a lot to do after shift."

Casey felt concerned for Brett. She had definitely not been acting herself and today was no different. Casey knew something was wrong. Brett had been so reserved, she barely spoke to him anymore. Heck, it seemed she barely spoke to anyone anymore since Julie came into her life.

Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire

You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar

I've got shame, I've got scars

That I will never show

I'm a survivor

In more ways than you know

"Hey Foster, do you think Brett's been acting weird here lately?" Questioned Casey as he came and sat by Foster and Kidd

Both girls quickly looked around the room to make sure Brett wasn't in earshot, "Yeah, she's been very quiet and reserved since her dinner with Julie last week."
